Lemon Pepper Chicken Legs Recipe

Summer means grilling! My family and I grill year-round, and during the winter, my brave hubby battles the elements and grills in his winter coat and snow boots. I'm not that brave. I'm a wimp in the cold and opt to grill inside with my stove's attachment.

This easy recipe requires only a few ingredients and is perfect for those impromptu get-togethers. You could easily use this recipe on chicken breasts, wings, etc., but legs were the choice this time, and I chose to use Cherchies® Lem 'n Pepper Spicy Blend. 

Try our other flavorful spices too! (I usually make a batch of chicken legs with an assortment of our seasoning blends and have our guests choose their favorites). This recipe would be a lot of fun for a game night meal.

Lemon Dill Dip Recipe

This is one of my favorite dip recipes!  It's light, it's refreshing, and our Cherchies® lemon dill spice makes this dip irresistibly good.  Cherchies® Lem 'n Dill Seasoning is our original and still most popular seasoning (Did I mention it comes in two sizes?).  Obviously it is fabulous in a dip, but It's also great on chicken, fish, eggs, and vegetables. 

Combining equal parts of mayonnaise and sour cream enhances the flavors of the spices in this dip, and I would definitely NOT leave out the mayonnaise.  (Actually, you could substitute the sour cream with greek yogurt and use light mayo for a lighter version).  I would recommend making this dip a day ahead, as the flavors tend to intensify over time!  We also have a no-salt lemon dill seasoning!  Try our other seasoning blends in lieu of the Lem 'n Dill for an array of tasty dips.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup Mayonnaise

• 1/2 cup sour cream (you can substitute fat-free Greek yogurt

• 1-2 Tablespoons (Tbsp) Cherchies® Lem 'n Dill Seasoning (Try our other spices and seasoning blends in lieu of the Lem 'n Dill)

Preparation

Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl.  Chill dip for at least two hours (can be made a day ahead).  

For a fun twist on veggies and dip, try arranging the veggies in shot glasses with the dip at the bottom. Vloia...instant cute individual appetizers!  I made these cuties for my parent's recent surprise 50th Anniversary party. They were a huge hit! 

Maybe your kids would even eat their veggies presented this way;)  (Mine did!) 

For a Halloween flair, cut up orange peppers to look like Jack o Lanterns, cutting a wide mouth to allow the dip to ooze out.  Spooky!  Enjoy!
